UNSPSC 50365041: Canned or jarred shamouti jaffa oranges

The variety of oranges known as shamouti jaffa oranges that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365041 Canned or jarred shamouti jaffa oranges is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying sparingly and narrowly—recent solicitations show minimal activity under this specific code, with opportunities tagged under it representing a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for canned applesauce (not shamouti oranges), due July 31, 2026, seeking 4,760 cases compliant with USDA 2011 commodity specifications for canned fruit, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with a historical price of $21.84 per case. A second Oregon opportunity, ITB S2910000016975 from May 18, 2026, likewise procured canned applesauce rather than oranges. The state and local procurement record shows no recent shamouti-orange-specific solicitations; instead, corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies are buying canned and jarred fruit products in the broader commodity space—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food supplies—but the shamouti orange category itself does not appear to be an active procurement target across the jurisdictions in this dataset.

The issuing bodies pursuing canned fruit commodities span corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county boards of education (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Because the code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with shamouti oranges, pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 50365041 is not a viable procurement strategy; vendors offering canned or jarred citrus products should monitor broader food commodity codes and school nutrition, corrections, and state health service procurements where applesauce, mixed fruits, and fresh produce dominate actual buying patterns.
